Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Agreed. Someone linked this on Facebook a while back. I saw it coming, and then I got to the note.
Still wasn't prepared.
Tears everywhere.
More moving than most movies I've seen. Well played, commercial. Well played indeed.

It's basically that "let he who is without sin" story from the Bible, but twisted for commercial gain. I don't see the emotional impact?

I think its the combination of the red herring of the crazy guy who he gives the veggie soup to at the beginning, in what seems like a regular sort of deal, the music, and the happy ending. I don't mind if you don't find it emotional, I think it's quite nice, and we can disagree about it because it isn't important.

Same here Through the first bit of the ad I thought "Yeah, that's nice and sad and all", and then that happened, and I suddenly got something in my eye.

I was explaining this story last night to my mother and I got more choked up than I did while watching it...
Truly whoever did that commercial deserves a raise.

It isn't about sin nor is it about casting aspersion on others, so it isn't very analogous to that story. If you really have to view it through the prism of the bible it seems more inspired from Matthew 25: 31-46, in which Jesus talks about how people who helped the lowest in society (feeding the poor, clothing the naked, gave shelter to the cold, ect) would be rewarded in Heaven. Really the whole ministry though was about compassion, so many of the stories will have elements that are applicable.
